    From a human point of view that looks a bit confusing, but in the grand scheme of programming the thing in the first place, it is the difference between if( numberOfTags > sizeWeWantWithTags) show( "and " + (numberOfTags - numberOfTagsShown) + " more ") and while(numberOfTagsShown < totalTags) { tagSize = CalculateSizeThatNextTagWouldBe (tags[numberOfTagsShown] if( TotalCurrentSize + tagSize > sizeWeWantWithTags) break; AddTagToList(tags[numberOfTagsShown]) totalCurrentSize += tagSize } if( numberOfTags > sizeWeWantWithTags) show( "and " + (numberOfTags - numberOfTagsShown) + " more ") In my own work I would go for the second, but I am paid stupid money to do that rather than doing it for shats and giggles.

    Agreed, re differing expectations - I would always expect a larger version. I don't mind them but I hide all sigs that have a large image in them

    Yes, we did too, trying to decide if she was serious. Sadly it appears she is! Can't wait for the album! Well, he has at least found the autotune, and you also know it is going to be terrible by the video!

    Yes, I used to think that before his brexit thing. Hes gone right down in mine, but I still think he was a good singer for maiden back when I listened to them.

    True, can't beat this:

    Well, if you think that is bad, she has another song, Fantasy. I don't think its quite as good in general, but the chorus is epic as she does backing harmonies. This should be the right place, but if not, go to 1:22 (or just watch the whole thing). I watched the whole thing, it has a 'peculiar magic' to it. It shows that telling your children to believe in themselves and that they can be anything has a downside.

    I always found he was better to listen to when he was signing

    No, sorry, there is a winner here. Someone sung this, someone recorded this, someone mixed this, it went past a whole group of people and noone said.. "Hey guys, maybe autotune isn't the devil?" It actually appears from the structure of the song that she is trying to channel the style of Taylor Swift, but Taylor manages to make it work by singing the actual note, rather than some jazz interpretation of it!

    At the top of the thread in the top right corner is an elipsis ( . . . ) and edit is under there. Look - its over here-->

    I suppose like all lists, that has some stupid entries. A lot of those tracks are just songs that it is clearly uncool to like than genuinely bad songs, Like for instance Rockstar by nickleback, the song that is almost worth liking because it is so trendy to hate. Yes, you could say it was the worst song ever made, but then it is 2xplatinum single and 4.5 million sales. However you spin that, it is not the worst song ever as clearly millions of people liked it enough to buy it. So according to those lists, its a worse song than anything by the shags or anything in this list so far? Barbie girl, yes, terrible but everyone knows it and it sold nearly 2 million singles, so that is worse than anything anyone on here has ever written? Ice Ice baby? A classic, everyone knows it. Agadoo.. Mr blobby.. ok fair cop.

    That really does sound like a Eurovision song, with a Eurovision video
  12. Woodinblack
    They look nice but the videos are a bit offputting!

    An ideal pre-amp should be completely transparent, to the point where you should not be able to tell the difference between it being on and off when everything is flat, assuming you have good leads and a reasonable amplifier. What would be the advantage of the pre-amp having a 6dB gain, rather than, say, turning the volume up? It gives you a bass you can't switch to passive without changing your settings, or change basses live (like having a G&L!) I have never heard anyone complaining that the problem they had with the barts was because they are too quiet - the volume is fine on them, just that the pickups are a bit bland. I think if the EHBs had nords, I would have got one by now.

    You think that is bad. They are in their 50s now and have to live with that

    Shameless plug, posted mine in the amps for sale!
  16. Woodinblack
    Decided I might as well move on my Ashdown CTM-100. It works well and sounds glorious but I never really take it anywhere because it is heavy and I have to carry the PA and keys and basses etc, so it used to be too much for the car. Also at waist height on top of my cab in a small venue its not great with my big singles Anyway, all is in pretty good condition, it has a nick on one of the handles, and a bit of dust from sitting around. This is a Made in the UK one (I only just found out there were chinese), and it was hand made as this is the prototype that all others were made from, which is why it has different coloured knobs and a funny serial. I am not posting this though, its too much of a faff to post a valve amp of this weight and I am in no hurry. So local pickup (you can try it etc if you are here) or I can meet up or deliver reasonably locally. Just for sale, don't really want anything about from a 5 string bongo or a SY1000 synth Heres some pictures.

    Wow, even the woman in the video is covering her ears!
  18. Woodinblack
    Hey you could start a whole thread with that!
  19. Woodinblack
    Oh yes, now I see the china thing - they had two, one at 549 which had madein the UK on the back and one at 499 with Made in china - that one seemed a lot tattier
  20. Woodinblack
    Sounds terrible - wonder how it got in that condition? Also wonder if they are just going to take it back and ship it out to the next unsuspecting sucker. Reminds me to not get S/H stuff from andertons. If only there was one available within an hour and half drive of Torquay

    I have ordered from them and haven't had any issues, but then I have also ordered from bax successfully a couple of times. Luck of the draw really, if the order goes smoothly and you don't ahve to deal with them all companies tend to be ok, its only when they need to do something it matters.

    Mine is very supportive. In the last group she came to all our shows, but the current one, we do stupid 3 hour gigs in pubs she would rather not go with so she doesn't, but she is always interested. She has no problems with me buying things, beyond the roll of the eyes and a judgement on whether the new bass is ugly or not. Which is good, the non ugly basses live in the living room. She is a singer and we have been in groups together, but currently our last group just split up so we need to do another.

    My ric copy was nicked, otherwise I would have been happy to stick with that.

    Interestingly, looking at the circuit diagram the 2 and 4 ohm are the same connection.
  25. Woodinblack
    I didn't know that, I thought they were all done here. I know mine is UK - will have a look in it to see what its valves are, it was the original circuit, so I assume it is the diagram I have. Gotta take some pictures for selling anyway.
